Where are they now: Agustina Mandujano

Agustina Mandujano, a 45-year-old breast cancer survivor who lives in rural Luling, is doing well. She and her children Maria, 13, and Agustin, 16, still live in a cramped trailer without plumbing, but her agency, Community Action Inc. is working on a plan for better housing. Mandujano wants to be able to stay on the land, which is near family.

Agustina Mandujano, a breast cancer survivor, sits in her favorite chair. The family lives on the outskirts of Luling on property owned by relatives. They have no indoor plumbing and limited electricity in their small mobile home. Two churches are working on building her a home and will use Season for Caring money to fund part of it.ALBERTO MARTíNEZ / AMERICAN-STATESMAN

A church in Buda wants to build Mandujano a new three-bedroom home, but first Community Action is working on securing the deed to the land and doing a survey. Another church in Caldwell County also wants to help.

Community Action has been saving Season for Caring money to help build the house, but there will need to be more donations of building supplies, services like plumbing and electrical, and appliances.

If you can help, contact Community Action at 512-392-1161.

Look for other updates all week and meet a new round of Season for Caring families on Nov. 30. Share your stories of giving on Instagram and Twitter at #seasonforcaring.
